City of Culture 2025 - we're backing the bid!

MGL Group is one of over 500 businesses supporting the effort and the county has made the shortlist. There are many reasons why our city deserves the title, but the most recent Lumiere was was a great advert for a northern capital of culture, demonstrating the scale of Durham’s cultural ambitions.

This iconic event puts local people at the heart and creates an environment that champions inclusivity and diversity. It was fantastic to see the city illuminated once again and it was the most ambitious event to date.

This a fantastic opportunity for more culture, investment and our region as a whole.
